Start a new line of text inside a cell in Excel
I'm trying to start a new line of text inside a cell in Excel. I've always done this by simply pressing alt + enter. But now it's jumping to the cell below (instead of a new line within the cell). ...

Thanks, but the cursor is flashing, I press alt + enter, and it Still Jumps To the Cell Below.
Is there a setting for Excell that addresses this?

To my knowledge there is no such setting. Please check Alt+Enter Stopped Working Correctly (Microsoft Excel) (tips.net) if helps.

As far as I could understand the text, it is mostly due to the language selection,
but with my Excel 2016 where I tried it, it works without problems,
just has to be in the cells and it always works.
It's weird, even though I keep changing the language selection.
Will probably be like that when it was tried out by excel specialists ... luckily not with my excel :)).
- harvey80Oct 25, 2021Copper ContributorI checked and my Excel is set for Text Wrapping - but the problem persists.
Can anyone out there please help???- NikolinoDEOct 25, 2021Platinum Contributor
As already described above by Mr. @Sergei Baklan, Alt + Enter Stopped Working Correctly, you can see the link in his post.
That it works for me doesn't mean that it works for someone else too, read the article.
Thank you for your understanding
- harvey80Oct 25, 2021Copper ContributorThank you Sergei. He says first to make sure that Wrapping is turned on.
Please tell me how to turn on wrapping?
